Naruto's balanced ninja

Chapter 86

After Jiraiya finished his explanation, he disbanded on the spot. When Minato and Kushina left, Jiraiya went to Mingyan and took out his bulging wallet.

Seeing the wallet, Ming Yan was like a hungry wolf seeing a lamb, he was going crazy from poverty recently.

"Guess how much royalties I got?" Ji Laiya waved his wallet and said with a smile.

"10 million taels?"

"wrong."

"20 million taels?"

"No, guess again."

Jiraiya's smile at this time deeply betrayed him, it was a smile that only surfaced when he was so happy, so Mingyan's guess became bolder, "50 taels?"

"Forget it, you definitely won't guess."

Is it more than 50 taels?Ming Yan's eyes glowed green, "How much?"

Jiraiya raised his right index finger and middle finger, swayed from side to side, and the corners of his mouth curled up in an exaggerated arc.

Ming Yan jumped up in shock, "200 million taels?!"

Ji Lai also smiled and nodded, "I've had nothing to do recently. My thoughts are flowing like a spring. I can write five thousand words a day. I just finished the second volume of "Intimate Paradise" yesterday. I gave the manuscript to the owner of the bookstore this morning. There are 20 words in total. If the ten thousand characters are in the early stages, according to the price of ten thousand taels, it will be 200 million taels."

Two million taels is not a small amount. This requires an S-level mission, and S-level missions can only be accepted by jounin, and they are very dangerous. Most of them involve assassinating important people and stealing confidential documents. If you don't pay attention, even a Jonin will be wiped out in an instant.

Two million taels can turn a penniless poor into a rich man, enough to build a building in Konoha, eat delicacies from mountains and seas every day, and live a luxurious and high-end life.

Ordinary villagers in Konoha can earn less than 200 million taels in their entire life. If one zero is removed, 20 taels may not be earned. The meager income can only meet daily needs.

And Zilai also stayed in the village, drinking small wine, humming a little song, lying on the desk and scribbling pen and ink, so that he could get the reward of S-level missions without any risk.

Of course, writing a book is not as good as imagined. When the inspiration bursts out, the author’s thoughts are flowing like a spring, and he writes vigorously, but often there will be stuck texts. One card is a day, or even several days, and a large number of brain cells will be consumed.

Knowing that there are 1 taels for writing a thousand words, but lying in front of the desk, I can't hold back a word for a long time. This kind of painful psychology can only be truly felt by doing it in person.

This is like when writing a composition in the college entrance examination room, when you suddenly get stuck while writing, and then you can't write a word for a long time, the feeling of burning with anxiety is more vivid.

However, compared with going out to perform S-level missions, a normal person will choose the former. Of course, not everyone has the talent to write books. Writing requires a higher level of talent for writing. Hard work will only add to the cake, but it cannot jump the dragon gate. .

Behind the 200 million taels, Ji Lai also racked his brains to conceive the plot, and spent days and nights alone at his desk.

Recently, Zilai also asked Ming Yan about writing books, because he has written so many words, he has learned to conceive interesting plots, has the writing idea of ​​following the main line and developing side lines at the same time, and has a good understanding of the future plot development. Very good grip.

He would discuss with Ming Yan only when he was unsure about some plot choices and major turning points, and Ming Yan could always give him good advice.

Therefore, the sales of the book are so good, it is inseparable from the help of Ming Yan, especially in the early stage of his creation, Ming Yan spared no effort to guide him, teaching him writing skills, teaching him suspense setting, teaching him how to portray characters...

It can be said that without Ming Yan, there would be no "Kissing Paradise", because he would never think of writing books to make money, let alone the popularity of "Kissing Paradise" today.

"We will split the manuscript fee in half."

Zilai also said a very casual sentence, but it directly hit Mingyan's heart.

Half and half!
Ji Laiya wrote the whole book "Kissing on Heaven" by himself, and he just doubled his mouth and got half of the total manuscript remuneration?
He does not deny his help to Jiraiya's writing, but he believes that his contribution to "Kissing Heaven" is not enough to get half of the manuscript's remuneration. Jiraiya is the one who puts in the most effort and deserves more rewards.

Although he provided a lot of interesting plots, the actual writers are self-proclaimed. With plots, it is also a skill to bring vivid and interesting plots to paper. This requires good writing skills, that is, the ability to choose words and make sentences. Needs come and go and accumulate.

He only wanted to wait for Zilaiye to get the manuscript fee, use some of it to buy a few detonating charms, and mix in some food money by the way, but he never expected that Zilai would directly share half of the manuscript fee with him.

Jiraiya's generous shots made Mingyan not slow down for a long time.

"Hey, are you overjoyed?" Zilai also patted his shoulder.

Ming Yan quickly waved his hand, "Teacher Zi Lai Ye, this can't be done, I'll take two grades."

40% of the manuscript fee is [-] taels, which is enough for him.

"If I say half and half, it's half and half, there's no need to discuss." Zi Lai also directly stuffed the wallet onto Ming Yan, which he had prepared in advance, and it happened to contain 100 million taels.

He knew very well that without Ming Yan, he would continue to be squeezed by the boss of the bookstore, writing a book with 50 taels of a thousand characters, how could he have the current high remuneration, so Ming Yan deserved the 100 million taels.

Jiraiya's attitude is so tough that Mingyan can't refuse, and it's useless to refuse, Jiraiya's character is like this, no matter what he decides, he will not change easily.

Ming Yan could only put away his wallet embarrassingly, and sincerely thanked him. He felt uncomfortable holding the money in his hands. If he deserved it, he didn't have to come and force it to him. Just go over and grab it, okay? But this is not.

The right is to be lent to him by Zilaiye, and in the future when he makes a lot of money, he will return it to Zilaiye.

However, he doesn't know when he will be able to make a lot of money. Maybe he can write a book, but writing a book requires a lot of time and energy, which will delay his practice. He is not as strong as Zilai. Let's talk about it when he has it. The first task is to seize the time to practice.

Ji Lai also clapped his hands, "Let's talk about the plot direction of the third volume of "Kind to Heaven."

Two figures, one tall and one short, sit on the boulder to exchange ideas, discuss plots, and look forward to the bright future of the third volume of "Kindness to Paradise".

The warm sunshine is soothingly pouring down, and the pores of the whole body are breathing happily.

Naruto never once thought that if there were no wars in the world of Naruto, friendly exchanges between countries, vendors doing business everywhere, and ninjas exchanging ideas with each other, instead of drawing swords at each other as soon as they meet, but this is unrealistic, because no one can unify the ninja world, there is no People have the power to talk to the entire ninja world...
